“another major risk with liposuction is lidocaine toxicity so overdosing the people with lidocaine because you're obviously having to numb up the area before you liposuction it so how do you numb them up you numb up whether you make the incision you then introduce fluid full of lidocaine into the area it also has epinephrine in it so it causes constriction of the blood vessels to decrease the bleeding and does any of that make its way into the patient's actual bloodstream so that their heart rate goes faster which the epinephrine would do interestingly it takes about 812 hours as a delay after the liposuction for it to see peak levels of these substances in the bloodstream and so you're done with a procedure after a couple hours patient recovers for another hour their home so these levels are occurring at home and that's when you have to really understand what you're doing what volumes you're putting into the patient making these calculations and a lot of the people doing this in the office are not thinking about it and that's where they run into trouble
